Hi Hennie, I made the mistake of going to bed 'early' ...... Woke up and looked at the time, tried to go back to sleep but couldn't, decided to go have some coffee and .............. ah well, 'nuff said.

Ja, I know, I had the same problem .... they find it inside almost anything. Now I put a little margarine on the index finger, stick the tablet to the tip, tell them to sit, I open their mouths and put it as far back into the throat as I can (not under the tongue). I then hold the mouth closed with one hand and rub the underside of the neck / jaw with the other. Works every time.

last night she ran to me when I got out the car and called, still a slow run, however an improvement!!
used to let her put her paws on my lap while still sitting in the car, she tried that, just got her paws on the door sill when the car door open
she took her medicine much better, although still wrapped in expensive ham, its an improvement!!
wife got her some mince, she ate two small raw mince balls

not great, however great improvement!!
progress in the happy positive direction

have other issues, and here willing to take advice
male bugs her, leeks her, he is concerned about her, they grew up together, from different litters
last night tried to separate them so that she can rest!!
he cries like a little baby!! he almost sounds like a human crying!! fed him treats!! K@ked him out!! nothing!!
let him see where she was he would settle down for a few min, then again same story
eventually gave in, as I was also tired, and they both seemed to of settled down together in the lounge!!
he is like a overprotective human around her!!
as she has gotten better, she now growls at him and even started snapping at him(like she always has, like a woman with PMS!! LOL!!)!!

The behaviour of the male is almost normal but usually they settle down after a short period. If that behaviour persists it normally indicates that she is coming into season.

Ok, if she's been fixed then it's not that. Another explanation is the powerful nature of the bond these dogs form for their pack mates, 2 and 4 legged ... (they see you as being part of their pack). This is why they are known to be one of the most (if not the most protective. They are also reputed to be vicious, which I believe in part to be true, but misunderstood ... they're large dogs, so capable of inflicting serious damage and by and large will protect owners and territory to the death ferociously.

Anyway I digress .... they're also not stupid and your male knows that his mate is not well, he is concerned and protective of her and he's just showing it. More than most other breeds, they require and thrive with getting attention and affection, he's trying to do his part to lift her spirits. Of course he's making a nuisance of himself in the process by overdoing it, but that's just their way.

She is improving slowly
The last two nights when I have had enough of his " missbehaviour" I pull out my 10year old rolled up newspaper, witch means he is now on thin ice, one smak on the bum a uitk@k and then all quietens down in the lounge till morning

Tried separating them, for her to rest, and that was bad news

She has stated getting some meatballs, raw, so she has now also started eating

Last night she half climed on me when stooped at home and oppened the car door, still slowly however progress, me thinks

The guys are bleary eyed and mushy brained by now - Gonna send them home to get some rest, We will tackle the issue again in the morning. At least we have workarounds in place to sustain business for another day.

Hi Val. Sorry I didn't see your post ..... was trying to catch up from the bottom on all the unread posts and never made it to the top before the sandman dropped a tipper-truck load. The sun melted the sand at 5.30 this morning (beautiful summer's day here in the E/Cape today). Have a great day, all!
